NHL News: A Few More Players Deciding To Not Take Part In Phase 3 and 4

“After speaking with my wife, family and my agent I have decided that I am opting out of the return to play. This was one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make. My wife and son have a congenital heart defect which can cause complications with Covid-19. We have taken this very seriously. Family will always be my priority.

I will be rooting for my teammates and hope we can bring the Cup back to Boston.”

NHL: Edmonton Oilers defenseman Mike Green opts out.

“Due to the uncertainties surrounding COVID-19 and after much consideration, I’ve decided for deeply personal family health reasons, not to participate in the return to play,” Green said in a statement.
